The Dicks amendment was one of several debated Tuesday night, some of which were accepted by voice vote. For example, members accepted language from Rep. Charlie Bass (R-NH) that transfers $20 million from the Department of Interior to the Land and Water Conservation Fund.

Members also accepted language from Rep. Scott Tipton (R-Colo.) that cuts $5 million from the EPA and sends that money to the Bureau of Land Management and the Forest Service.

The House rejected language from Rep. Doug Lamborn (R-Colo.) cutting $50 million from the Bureau of Land Management.

Members on Wednesday will have to vote on a proposal from Rep. Hansen Clarke (D-Mich.) that would move $10 million from the Bureau of Land Management's department that deals with oil and gas drilling permits to the EPA's Great Lakes Restoration Initiative.
